Genoa, May 13-14

Hotel Bernhof, room 25


Another day when our travel plans went reasonably awry, this time thanks to an inept train station attendant at Menton station in France. We'd planned to end up in Milan that evening, but at 9pm we were only at Genoa. So we got off the train and looked for a hotel. Genoa train station is surrounded by plenty of hotels; this is a one-star in an old building, with friendly personable owners. There's a little English spoken. Our room was very clean with an old but moderately comfy bed, plus a very clean and recently installed bathroom. The first night we were bothered a bit by unruly pigeons outside/upstairs (see here for more) but the second night was fine.
We forgot to take a photo on arrival at this hotel so took one the next day, which is why you ca see JB's undies and socks hanging outside the window - it is our washing line; there's not actually one outside the room...
All in all, a reasonable budget choice in expensive Italy.
Bathroom: private
Cost: 50 euros
Recommended: Yes, reasonable value, friendly owners, clean and centrally located.
